Hi honey, any luck yet? I find sipping warm water helps, also try a deep hot bath and massage your tummy clockwise for about 10 mins while you are in the bath.
If you're feeling like its there but won't come out, try sitting on the loo with your knees higher than your hips (put a stool under your feet) and pretend you are blowing bubbles!
My little girl suffered really badly with constipation recently and this really helped!
Good luck,
Fiona

If you are really stuck (pardon the pun!) then get some glycerin suppositories from the chemist. They really do work.
I've only been twice in the 8 days I've been on lipotrim, though. I think because there's such a small amount going in, there isn't much to come out!
Good luck!

Hiya hun, so glad to hear you have managed to go. Hopefully once you get used to this, your body will get used to it and you won't have any problems.
I've gone the other way today and daren't go more than 10 feet from the loo!
All fun and games isn't it?

Ooh, lots of luck for the weigh in! The first week is the hardest, I'm 10 days in now and its not difficult at all.
Hope you have a great loss, make sure you come on here quick and tell us all about it!
